50th Anniversary (1970) KRS-530/KRS-558 set with gold paint

Post by flynngoo »

I just acquired this set off of Facebook Marketplace. I've been a collector of older Snap On boxes for some time but this was the first time I've come across the gold edition from the 50th anniversary. I am currently working on the slides and have since gotten keys made for it. It appears that the side handle is not original. I tried to research these boxes online and have found VERY LITTLE about them accept for a couple examples offered for sale over the years. It appears that these boxes are fairly rare and sought after. Anyone with information about these boxes please share. Thanks.

Very nice!
Although I don't own the same boxes, I have a similar set of boxes with the correct (original to boxes) side handle from the same era.
If you are looking for pic's of the side handle send me a PM.
